There were eight people attending the workshop and of the eight, two ladies wanted to make a scarf and the rest a bag, it was hard work but everyone went home with something, which I thought was very good. Age being na barrier as one of the attendees was 80 and completed a lovely scarf.

The feedback was good, as everyone filled a evaluation form and was happy.
